24 years ago Brittany Marie Jones (now Barnes... thanks to me) was born. Every April 15 while the majority of Americans scramble to figure out what number goes where on their 1040's and scurry off to the post office stressed out of their minds, I have something (someone) a little more dear to my heart to think about. I love my wife. She is so talented. She is so patient. She is so caring. She is so loving. She is so compassionate. She is so intuitive. She is so smart. She is so crafty. She is so funny. She is so sexy (can I say that on here?). She is so spiritual. She is so intriguing. She is so Brittany.

I think she deserves the world and I try to prove that to her every day, if you want to leave her a sweet birthday message, feel free to comment on this post.

Also, Britt has been swamped between working at Shade (even modeling for them! click here), doing her wardrobe styling services for clients, and making flowers like crazy. She won't say it but she has been doing really well with all of them! I don't know if she wanted me to say anything but she has a few new flower designs that are already selling like crazy and they aren't even in the store yet. About that... BRITT'S FLOWERS ARE AT UNIVERSITY MALL STARTING TODAY!!! For the next 10 days you can get one or ten of Britt's Pretty Blossoms at Shade Clothing at University Mall.

Lastly, if I (Grant) should have you or your husband's phone number please text or call me (My old phone is somewhere in the Turks and Caicos Islands along with all my contacts) so that I can have your/their number.

awww! happy birthday Britt! so happy you were born! i love you to pieces! and grant, this was a beautiful post. you guys are perfect for each other! we love you guys so much and hope you have a great birthday! i am going to write more later! i have to run into a work meeting!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Brittany, I was totally thinking about you this morning and I still don't have your phone number in my phone...what is up with that?!?! I hpoe that you have a wonderful birthday full of love, fun, and surprises. Wow, I can't believe how awesome you are doing with your pretty blossoms...well, actually I CAN believe it, but can I just say I am SO PROUD of you!?!?!? Seriously, I am so proud. I am STILL wanting like 10 of them. Next time we're down, I am going to raid your selection. Can't wait to see the new designs. You're all of those sweet things Grant said, including SEXY, and of course he can say that on the blog, because it's blatantly obvious and every man should think his wife is hot. I think you're hot too. Is that creepy? who cares if it is, you are hot. Happy Birthday Beautiful.

Happy Birthday Brittany! I am so happy for you and your success lately! And you don't even KNOW how excited I am for your flowers. Seriously. This is what I have been waiting for! I can't wait to see the new styles! I just love you girl! Hope you have a wonderful day!

oh man! i am a terrible friend. i did not even know that it was your birthday. happy happy birthday to you brit. you are the greatest. its true, you do have so many wonderful talents. i wish that you would just get here already!

Hey, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! It seems like you appreciate funny videos....you might have already seen this one, but it's a gem. Even though your birthday is over, I hope it brings you birthday happiness anyways. :)

I'm just slightly late...I hope you had a good b-day! Such a sweet post. So cute of Grant to do it for you. I was watching Oprah the other day and she had this lady from JCrew on, and it totally made me think of you. She was giving fashion advice and talking all about clothes and I thought of you..Also, I have a question for you about skinny jeans..they are only good on certain body types, yes? I love them but don't think I can wear them with my huge butt and thighs..don't they just excentuate that? And I have NO clue how to spell exsentuate. But anyway..are they best on more of a straight body? (I know I'm using really technical terms here. ha.) Are they not so good on curvy? I know I can look and see if it looks good, but I'm still always so unsure. Advice??

Thank you Britt! I sooo love my blossoms for my raincoat. Looks super cute with my dove gray rainboots. I am in love with the green one. Thank you for the sweet note. I love Chloe'too!! She has always been a light in my life. She glowed from day one! Hope you had a good birthday. What a great month for a birthday!

welcome to our bloggy blog. we love each other a lot and feel so lucky to have found one another. we've spent most of our marriage traveling and living in 4 different states. we are so excited to be settling down (at least for now) in the land of enchantment. we just welcomed our little trudy baby and she is such a joy. when she smiles it lights up her whole face and makes us melt. we loved our family of two before... but our family of three is a million times better. we are so grateful for this blog and the opportunities we have to document pieces of our life and also learn from others. life is just beautiful and we are striving to live it up by trying lots of new things and making joyful memories. see some in our two year anniversary movie here
